Answer #1

Apple has made a name for itself through not only producing innovative devices, but also through engineering the operating system that the devices will use. In this regard, the iOS is fundamentally the OS that is used in Apple products such as the iPod, iPhone and also the iPad. Some of the widely used versions of this great operating system from Apple include the 4.2 edition and also the 5.0 version.

A minor compliant associated with the earlier 4.2 version of the iOS is the inability of cancelling a downloading app. This means that you have to wait until the download is finished and then you can get rid of it. However, with the new iOS 5 this problem has been effectively removed. This means it is now possible to terminate a download anytime, instead of wasting bandwidth or time in completing the download. Many users find this beneficial, particularly when you download the wrong app by mistake.

In the 4.2 version, notifications were a major problem since they appeared and disrupted other apps from functioning correctly. Nonetheless, users can now enjoy the innovate Notifications Center that was introduced in iOS 5. This means users can simply choose to respond or ignore the notifications. Browsing through the notifications is also easy as it simply requires a swipe. If a use chooses to respond, then the system will respond by providing the relevant app. Furthermore, these new notifications will appear in an inconspicuous way as they only appear briefly.

Another major improvement that is not present in the Apple 4.2 edition but is usable in iOS 5 is the reduction of messaging costs. This is because iOS 5 allows users to communicate through sending images, locations and texts through Wi-Fi.

Although iOS 5 is yet to be released, users expect that it will resolve all the problems associated with previous editions of this operating system and also provide innovative features.
